Daily Activities

Camp Tevya values ‘active experience’ as an important part of a child’s maturation, offering children a chance to attempt new challenges and  discover their full potential while perfecting the skills they already possess. We are dedicated to presenting a well-rounded camping experience that includes physical and creative activities that enable our campers to go home with new skills and projects they have created themselves.

Tevya’s daily activities program appeals to the interest of every camper by providing a broad range of individual and group activities—water sports, land sports, arts and crafts, dance, camping, performance and learning programs; nearly fifty in all.

Some activities are mandatory, such as Swim Instruction, Athletics, Nature, Arts & Crafts, Shira (singing), Jewish Culture, and Tennis for our youngest campers.  In addition, campers have the ability to choose activities in their specific areas of interest. [Sample Weekly Schedule]
